2 Phone Guy
I've been seeing a lot of this lately. Guys who are carrying 2 mobiles. Seems like every meeting I go to there are a couple of obviously important people with 2 phones.
One for business and one personal? I even saw a three phone guy the other day. That makes no sense. One for business, one for the wife and one for the GF?

I have my android phone and the iPhone work gave me. I don't carry the work phone after hours or weekends. So what?

For some, it's a necessity. My wife is two phone gal. She carries her personal Saudi phone while she's here in Kingdom and her Houston phone for her business. its the world we live in. Constant communication is available.

My wife is a doctor who takes call. She looks like Batman with all the pagers and phones she has.

Usually that is a work phone and a personal phone.

We are on call 24/7, so we have a duty phone. I used to occasionally carry both, but now I just forward that one to my personal phone.

Because companies can get their BYOD grip together even though they have the tools such as MobileIron...

I had two when I worked in aerospace, work and personal. I could have consolidated to receive my work email and calls on my personal phone, but liked the ability to leave my work phone at home when desired.

Did you put them in some sort of bag or holster a couple and one in each hand?  One business and one personal is becoming the norm. How long before Apple gets a dual sim iPhone. Samsung has a few dual sim phones already.

Used to. Had a work phone and then a personal one. Don't like to mix business and personal life.

Work and personal. Work offered to let me BYOD my personal - and I thought about it until I saw the spyware crap they install. No effing way am I letting our filthy IT department even get near my phone.
So, I carry a Galaxy S4 that they gave me at work (phone, pages, and for fast answers to email) and a OnePlus One for myself. I treat the Galaxy like ****.

If I had to have a cell phone for work, or if work mandated that I check emails from my phone, I'd make them get me a 2nd phone and be a 2 phone guy. My phone is my property, my bill, and for my use and convenience. Work doesn't even have my cell number - a few coworkers do because they are friends, but there is nothing in my HR record, etc. that lists my cell. A few 2 phone guys at work though have solved it by using Google Voice and forwarding between numbers, texts, etc.

I carry a work phone and a personal phone - I like to keep my work calls and my personal calls separated - Also the company reserves the right to wipe the device if I bring my own device.
